Opinion on Prismatic Cards?

I think it’s fine, I like the shimmer. Prismatic Dagona looks the same as normal Dagona though, the giant sprite lol.

Sure, they could do something cooler, but I think it’s fine as is. More of a mark of prestige than anything.

The only prismatics I’ve kept are Serpenti and that 3/4 heavenly Autobot with the coolest sprite in the game, but I’ve crafted 2x Blood Echoes (it was cheap and filling the board with prismatic Sarlac fills me with joy)

I’m not sure how I would feel about recolours. My main thought is, would it confuse (new/inexperienced) players? We do already have recoloured minions in the game with Saberspine Tiger, Healing Mystic and a couple of others. But those are rarely seen and only limited to certain cards (maybe 7 or 8?). Due to that having a few recoloured minions is fine because those are rarely seen and the main two that I’ve mentioned were open for everyone to get at the time plus are well known. But if there was a recolour for every minion, maybe its just me, but it could be a bit extreme.

Right?? The art is so incredible, and it’s gorgeous with the prismatic effect, I hope RNG gifts me with more. The effect is cool too, if only it was playable!

and not to mention a prismatic prism barrier on a prismatic illusion from a prismatic prismatic illusionist

honestly it should be an easter egg at this point that for every prismatic summoned a prismatic illusionist get a bigger aura until the entire screen is prismatic

I personally find them rather dull.
In Pox, many of limiteds (analogue of prismatics) are just sepia versions of the same rune (card). They were also criticized from artistic point of view, but the catch is that they are available only for certain selected cards. You can’t make a limited version of anything. This is why they stand out for me, while prismatics don’t.

In other words, alt General skins are interesting, prismatics not so much.

I dislike the effect - it seems artificial on unit skins. I prefer non-prismatic cards.

Agree, the effect just seems like a cheap way to artificially create value sorta like gun skins in counterstrike, but just bad and not worth it. On the generals it’s the same and if anything I feel like a douchy hipster millennial when I include any prismatics in my deck.\

So here is why the prismatic skins in duelyst don’t work, The original sprites are too good. In Hearthstone and Gwent the original cards are static and the Shiny /Prismatic cards have animation and different coloring. Duelyst base cards are what most games shiny cards are and that makes them harder to stand out. The alt skins for Sarlac, Keeper, Healing mystic,Tiger and the Boss is the way to go but it is probably a little too late in process to go back and do them all cards. If artist was doing them from beginning it might have been possible. So we are stuck with current prismatic which needs to stand more i hope the reworked for the game sake dumping spirit in shinys helps the game’s economy I have seen people buy shiny cards to make their decks all shiny.

I don’t have a strong opinion on prismatics, but my brain won’t let me prioritize non prismatics when disenchanting. I know it’s wasting spirit and I didn’t even realize there was an effect other than the purple gradient, but I keep prismatics (even my prismatic envybear) and grind to unlock the free prismatics.

I know it is a lot of effort, but I’d like Prismatic Cards to have either:

  • recoloration
  • alternative movement cycles
  • flashier summon effects
  • additional/ alternative sound effects
  • an own unlockable card for certain stages of prismatic card amounts in my posession. I want to be able to be rewarded for foiling out my collection!

On which points would you agree?

Definitely not the last point, cause it may lead to pay2win situation - prismatics are expensive to get.

Others seem fine, but sadly will never happen.

yeah the last point is there due to a lack of better ideas…
